Detailed Description

Simplify the use of KAccel and KKeyDialog with menus.

It also provides for the changing of menu item shortcuts by typing the key when the menu item is selected.

The exact method of setting shortcuts is the subject of some debate, currently the ' key will put up a message indicating the next key hit will change the shortcut. The Delete key removes the accelerator associated with the menu item.

Previously: The quote key was required only for keys that are used for menu accelerators.

Usage:


 keys = new KAccel(this);

 filemenu = new KAccelMenu(keys);
 filemenu->insItem(i18n("&Open"), "&Open", kp ,SLOT(fileOpen()),
                   KStdAccel::Open);
 filemenu->insItem(i18n("Open &URL"), "Open &URL", kp, SLOT(fileOpenUrl()),
                   "CTRL+X");

 keys->readSettings();

Calling the KKeyDialog:


 KKeyDialog::configureKeys( keys ); 

On exit you need:


 keys->writeSettings();
